But all I really want is to escape with the girl I love…For the rest of our lives.

I enjoyed getting to know Trey and Harley in The Thrill of It. Their circumstances were refreshing and interesting. If you haven’t read the The Thrill of It, book one; please do not read any further as there may be spoilers.

Book one ends and leaves you with wondering whether or not Harley is indeed pregnant, and if she is, how it is going to impact not only her new life, but also the life of her boyfriend, Trey. A baby just may destroy him and set him up for a relapse in the addiction he’s been fighting to overcome.

I think that this story could have gone in several different directions, taking the reader on a journey of emotional chaos. I am so glad the author decided against the roller coaster ride of what-ifs, assumptions, and could of beens. I hate when the twist in a book was based on a lack of communication. Lauren Blakely made these characters face their issues head on, together, and in a way that was overall realistic and entertaining. I enjoyed reading about how these characters matured, overcame obstacles, and moved on to bigger and better things.

This was the first series I read from Lauren Blakely and will keep my eyes out for more. She has a unique writing style that I find is the perfect amount of giving the reader ALMOST everything we want, and leaves us wanting more.

4 STARS!
